Color Zoom Finalists Announced

Receiving a record 244 entries with dazzling images in the Creative Colorist, Partner Colorist and New Talent Colorist catgories, created more than a little angst for US judges.

Alas, some had to be chosen and others... not. The field was narrowed down to five per category and then sent to Darmstadt, Germany, where they were yet again judged by an inteational panel of industry experts.

The field is now narrowed down to three - one for each category. On October 16, an inteational judging will take place in South Beach, Florida to determine the global winners of this prestigious event. Go USA!

Creative Finalist: Allan Ngo, Allan's Salon, Santa Clara, CA		New Talent Finalist: Kassandra Retos, Lewis Hair Salon, Pittsburgh, PA
